Re: ref. avita, cured pap. & pupls. for several years.

Avita is a prescription-only topical medication which contains a mild

form of vitamin A. Some rosaceans can tolerate topical vitamin A. I

would guess that most can't. I can't tolerate even the small amounts

that are in some otc beauty products. I get lots of bumps and very

red skin from it. Maybe your derm can give you a sample and then you

can try it out on a small area of skin on your face to see if it

agrees with you.

Hope that helps!

It has helped me tremendously. In fact, my derm has stated that MANY

rosaceans can safely use Avita - because it is THE mildest form. It's the

only thing that has worked on my rosacea-induced acne, and I'd had severe

rosacea for 16+ years. My skin is highly sensitive but because Avita is so

mild, I had no problems with it.

There is no claim that " most rosaceans can't tolerate Vitamin A. " Everyone

is different and if my face could handle it (and my face was extremely

broken out and just raw), I'm sure others can too.

My derm (who also has rosacea) chooses to treat every component of rosacea

separately . Therefore, I apply Avita at night for acne and Metrogel in the

mornings for redness. Most derms just treat the redness with Noritate or

one of the Metro triplets and that's fine, but you also need to treat the

acne component too, if you have that.
